Anti-Japanese posts are flooding Chinese social media nearly a month after a 10-year-old boy from Japan was fatally stabbed by a Chinese man in Shenzhen.
The 44-year-old Chinese man had fatally stabbed the boy on Sept 18 on a road close to a Japanese school.
Anti-Japanese comments on social media are said to have contributed to incidents in China in which Japanese nationals have become victims, reported The Star.
Several posts are still viral on the social media in China which were hostile to Japanese schools in the country.
A Chinese-language news report released on Tuesday (Oct 15) quoted a Japanese media source as saying that the Japanese school in Shenzhen resumed face-to-face classes, reported The Star.
Responding to the report, several unsubstantiated and malicious comments were posted on social media, saying things such as, “When will all the Japanese schools in China be eliminated?” and “They’re bases for training Japanese spies.”
